Gwendolyn left the tavern and travelled out of the forest back into the nearby city.
It was the city of Atmorah a fairly large shipping port that also had numerous traders and merchants. A city of commerce and prosperity and like all large cities a booming underworld.
Gwendolyn skillfully slipped between the industrious citizenry, darting down the streets with obvious familiarity.
She stopped by the occasional food stands, feeling compelled to snatch a few treats. It was strange she thought, she never really had a sweet tooth but for some reason couldn’t help herself from tasting a few cakes and pasties.
Inside Gwendolyn’s stomach Ysmina was having a great time satisfying her sweet tooth on the thief’s indulgence. “Oh my god this stuff is so delicious.” She cries, Alf gave her an annoyed look. “Are you going to make her eat every treat she sees?” He asked. “Hey if I’m going to be here, I’m going to get something out of it!” she countered her mouth full of éclair. With no better argument Alf merely shrugged in agreement.
Gwendolyn stopped on her route, something suddenly came to her attention. While she didn’t feel bloated like yesterday, her bodice did feel tighter than it felt earlier. Even though she had loosened it a bit just earlier today because of her stomach’s current puffiness. It still felt tight around her middle. She tugged on the strings at the bottom, to get a little more slack and rubbed her stomach in relief as she resumed her journey.
If she had paid more attention, she would’ve noticed that her stomach was no longer puffy, it was bloated, a small bump sticking out from her middle. Alf smiled deviously, waiting for the moment when she realizes what is happening.
She checked to see if anyone was following and ducked down an alley, she stepped up to the backdoor of a building and knocked a unique way. The little metal window on the door slide open. Eyes peered out from inside the window and looked around before glancing down.
“Gwen, that you.” Asked the doorman, Gwen glared at him and said. “What do you think Nick! Open up.” The eyes narrowed and Nick said. “Nuh Uh, Not without the password.” Gwen rolled her eyes and said with an annoyed sigh. “Ravens Soar.”
The eyes closed in amusement and Nick responded. “That a girl, rules are rules.”
The door opened and Nick welcomed her inside, she slipped past him and travelled down a flight of stairs.
At the bottom of the stairs, the fairies watching where greeted to the sight of countless vagabonds and rogues doing various illegal activities. It was like a carnival of criminal activities. Several nobles were gathered around in a circle smoking opium from hookahs. Gamblers gathered around tables placing bets and dealing cards. There was even a ring in the back where bloody boxing matches drew a large crowd of onlookers. The fairies were struggling to stay put at the sinful spectacles before them, perhaps they could slip out while Gwen is busy.
